Now when she went to chicago that night she faced a wallAnd she woke up outside with all those leaves in her mouthAnd felt the pallAnd all night the rain came on downBut then she'd never been to chicago at night before the fallAnd it don't stop not at allIt falls all aroundIn the cityHits the ground

And now everybody's at disadvantageSpeaking with their second language

She'd never been there before they went and set up the wallAnd though nobody'd expected much from this reinventionShe still broke right down after allBecause she knew that it was all over and we'd hit a wallAnd like the fall this was allNow it's all aroundIn the cityOn the ground

And now everybody's at disadvantageSpeaking with their second language

And I never been to the wallNever been to the wallNever been to the wallNever been to the wallNever been to the wallNever been to the wallNever been to the wall
